Subject: Handheld chess computers...need advice on buying one

I'm going crazy trying to get the one I would like.  I've been waiting for the
Novag star saphire; but when is it going to be available? Suppose to be in May,
now June. I want one that is extremely strong to do what I do now on my PC...use
it to come up with a better move when I either go over an opening, middlegame or
endgame; like having a GM, master or expert over my shoulder assisting me. I've
looked at the handheld PC'S utilizing Fritz, Tiger, etc... and also Grandmaster.
I don't want to spend a lot of $$ because then I'd then buy a new laptop. I want
one than is not like my Novag Saphire where I have to put in e2-e4. A touch tone
one with the board seen is what I want.
Also some require windows CE AND i'M NOT SURE IF i HAVE TO GO OUT AND PURCHASE
IT & INSTALL IT; or it comes with it. Today I'm going out to check out some.
Also things are changing so fast, maybe I should wait. Confused help Thanks.
John
